IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at
all times.
A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2)
solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water
flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure
that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m), from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa
may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the
grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio,
television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all
ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but
installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in a spa should never exceed 104° F (40° C). Water
temperatures between 100° F (38° C) and 104° F (40° C) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early
months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to
100° F (38° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/5° F (2° C).

hazardous to your health.
5
2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at higher temperatures can
cause high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and
reduced awareness. These effects could result in possible drowning.
Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other drugs. Use of the spa under
these conditions may lead to serious consequences.
Always test the hot tub water temperature before entering the spa. Enter and exit the spa slowly.
Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never operate any electrical appliances
from inside the spa or when you are wet.
Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain safe water and prevent possible
damage to spa components.
Use the spa straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. This will help to
discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa and keep the spa cover secure in high wind
conditions. There is no representation that the cover, clip tie downs, or actual locks will prevent
access to the spa.
Do’s and Don’ts
•

Jet System Selector Valve
All hot tubs (except the Aurora HP, Aurora XLT, Caliente HP, and Triad II) are equipped with
spa-side Selector Valves. These valves can be used to divert jet power from one area within the
hot tub to another. The valves are adjustable and can be used to suit the bather’s taste. The valves
may offer some resistance to operation when the hot tub pump is on. This is a normal condition,
and is caused by the high rate of water flow and pressure that travels through the valves.
NeckFlex Jet Pillow
The NeckFlex Jet Pillow offers five height adjustable positions to accommodate
different body sizes. The standard mini directional jets can be interchanged with
rotating jets and are adjustable for water volume. See your local Authorized Dimension
One Spas for more information.
Ultra Pure Water Management System
The Chairman II, Caliente HP, Diplomat, Chairman, Californian, Nautilus, Aurora II, Aurora XLT and Triad II are
equipped with a highly advanced hot tub water treatment method, the Ultra Pure Water Management System. Ultra
Pure is an integrated water management system with ozone injection, a contact chamber, 100% filtration, and heating
on demand.
CrystalZone Water Management System
Specifically engineered for Dimension One spas, the CrystalZone Water Management System found in the Arena,
Triad, Caliente, and optionally on the Aurora HP, provides an integrated ozone purification and filtration for hot tubs.
It maintains the pre-set hot tub temperature, without the use of a jet pump. Using a Mazzei-T ozone injector, the
CrystalZone Water Management System provides cleaner water at lower operating costs. You’ll spend more time
enjoying your hot tub and less time maintaining it.
8
2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
Vision Systems
Vision Cartridge, an alternative purification system, can be used in conjunction with your Ultra Pure or CrystalZone
Water Management Systems. The advantage of Vision over conventional halogens (bromine and chlorine) is that it will,
as a result of lower chemical use, provide softer-feeling water. Additionally, low chemical levels can mean fewer
dissolved solids, which results in less water chemistry maintenance. Please refer to the Vision instructions for proper
installation. Also read the Water Care Guide for more information.
Heater and Circulation Pump Control
On all Dimension One Spas, when the water temperature is 1° F (0.55° C) below the set temperature the heater will
turn on and remain on until the water temperature rises to 1° F (0.55° C) above the set temperature. To prevent the
hot tub from overheating, the circulation pump turns off when the water temperature rises 2° F (1.1° C) above the set
temperature. When the water temperature cools down to the set temperature, the circulation pump will turn on.
The circulation pump will run for short periods when the water temperature is 2° F (1.1° C) above
set temperature to provide optimum operation. (The circulation pump is optional on the Aurora HP.)
Smart Heat (Available only on Dimension One Spas)
Smart Heat optimizes heat recovery using the amperage that you have available. Along with computerized load sharing,
that automatically recognizes the number of jet pumps in use, compares it with the available power, Smart Heat
recognizes the difference between the set temperature and the actual water temperature, and adjusts the heater to
optimize the heater output.
Operation
Operation is divided into two sections: Programming the Digital Control for the Arena, Aurora HP, Caliente, and Triad
(following section) and Programming the Scrolling Message Center for the Aurora II, Aurora XLT, Caliente HP,
Californian, Chairman, Chairman II, Diplomat, Nautilus, and Triad II (proceed to the Programming the Scrolling
Message Center section).
Programmable Digital Control for the Arena, Aurora HP,
Caliente, and Triad
Advanced microprocessor technology has been utilized to produce the Programmable Digital Control. Easy to use and
understand, Dimension One Spas has put every hot tub function within fingertip control. Temperature setting, jet
power control, and the hot tub light are all spa-side accessible. That means you don’t have to get out of the hot tub to
enjoy complete control of all hot tub functions. Safety is assured through design concepts and materials that meet or
exceed the most stringent requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Edison Test Labs (ETL) and the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA).
Digital Control lets you relax and enjoy everything your hot tub has to offer.

Digital Display Messages
The following messages may appear in the Digital Display:
“OH” – Overheat Protection
When “OH” is displayed on the control system Digital Display, the hot tub is in a high temperature condition. If such a
condition exists, check water temperature and if it is above 104° F (40° C), DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. If this
happens, remove the hot tub cover and allow the water to cool below 110° F (43.3° C). Reset the power to the spa by
resetting the GFCI breaker. If the problem recurs, turn off all power to the hot tub and contact your local Authorized
Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center.
Flashing LED on the Control Panel
If you see 3 flashing LEDs on the Digital Display, check the water temperature and if it is above 104° F (40°C) DO
NOT ENTER THE WATER. The system has detected a problem. Check the Digital Display and if it is displaying the
“OH” symbol, contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center. If the Digital
Display is displaying the temperature, check the water level and clean the filters. If the problem persists, reset the
power to the spa by resetting the GFCI breaker. If the error is not resolved after resetting the spa, contact your local
Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center.
Flashing Temperature on the Display
If you see a flashing temperature of 34° F (-16.6° C) or 134° F (56.6°C), DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. The system
has detected a problem. Contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center.
Summer Mode
The “SUMMER MODE” feature temporarily disables the circulation pump “Cool Off” cycle. During hot weather the
spa can experience “Heat Creep”. Heat creep is caused when the spa, during normal maintenance operations, cannot
dissipate more heat than is generated. This may cause the spa temperature to exceed the set temperature and cause a
“Cool Off” cycle. In order to prevent the water from becoming cloudy due to the circulation pump being turned off by
the “Cool Off” cycle, the spa can be set to bypass the “Cool Off” cycle. This is accomplished by setting the spa in the
“SUMMER MODE”. To initiate a “SUMMER MODE”, use the Up and Down pads to set the temperature to 59° F (15°
C). The Digital Display will indicate “SUMMER MODE”. In this mode the pump will run continuously until the water
temperature reaches 107°F (41.67° C) and then turns off. It will remain off until the water temperature reaches 102° F
(38.39° C) at which point the pump turns on.
11
2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
Standby Mode
The “STANDBY” mode allows the user to clean the filter without turning off power to the spa. This feature disables all
automatic and manual functions.
To enter the “STANDBY” mode press and hold the Dimension One Spa’s ICON logo for 5 seconds. To exit the
mode, press and hold the logo for 5 seconds. If you do not exit the mode manually, the spa will automatically return to
normal functionality after 24 hours.
The “Smart Winter” mode is not affected by the use of the “Standby”: mode.
Using the Programmable Digital Controller
To initiate the programming sequence at any time, push and hold the Program Pad for 3 seconds. If, within 10 seconds,
you do not proceed with the hot tub programming, the hot tub will automatically exit the programming sequence and
revert to the pre-set factory default settings. To exit the programming sequence at any time, do not press any pad for
10 seconds. Any programming changes made up to that point is saved.

Programming the Scrolling Message Center for the Aurora II,
Aurora XLT, Caliente HP, Californian, Chairman, Chairman II,
Nautilus, and Triad II
Advanced microprocessor technology has been utilized to produce the Scrolling Message Center. The most
technologically advanced hot tub control in the world is also the easiest to operate. Dimension One Spas has put every
hot tub function within fingertip control. Temperature setting, jet power control, the hot tub light and all other
functions are spa-side accessible. That means you don’t have to get out of the hot tub to enjoy complete control of all
hot tub functions. Safety is assured through design concepts and materials that meet or exceed the most stringent
requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Edison Test Labs (ETL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
The Scrolling Message Center lets you relax and enjoy everything your Dimension One spa has to offer.

One Spas ICON (logo) for 5 seconds when there is no maintenance message, it will put the spa in
the “Standby” mode.
Overheat
When “OVERHEAT” is displayed on the control system Digital Display, the hot tub is in a high temperature condition.
If such a condition exists, check water temperature and if it is above 104° F (40° C), DO NOT ENTER THE
WATER. If this happens, remove the hot tub cover and allow the water to cool below 110° F (43.3° C). Reset the
power to the spa by resetting the GFCI breaker. If the problem recurs, turn off all power to the hot tub and contact
your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center.
Flashing Display and/or “Check Water Level”
If you see 3 flashing LEDs (on Digital Display) and/or the message, “CHECK WATER LEVEL -CLEAN FILTER-IF
PROBLEM CONTINUES, TURN OFF POWER AND RESTART THE SYSTEM-IF PROBLEM CONTINUES, CALL FOR
SERVICE” on the Digital Display, follow the instructions as stated. Check the water temperature and if it is above 104°
F (40° C), DO NOT ENTER THE WATER.
Flashing Temperature on the Display
If you see a flashing temperature of 34° F (1.11° C) or 134° F (56.6° C), DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. The system
has detected a problem. Call your dealer for service.
Ice
When “ICE CONDITION” and the water temperature are displayed on the Digital Display, the air temperature in the
equipment can has gone below a factory-preset level, and the system has activated “Smart Winter Mode.” It will then
automatically activate the pump(s) to circulate water. This is a normal hot tub function. No corrective action is
necessary. This feature protects the spa from freezing.
Cooling
When “COOLING” and the water temperature are displayed on the Digital Display, the water temperature has
reached 2° F (1.1° C) above the set temperature. The circulation pump and ozone generator will turn off to allow the
water to cool back to the set temperature. This is a normal hot tub function. No corrective action is necessary.
The circulation pump and ozone generator will be on while either jet pump is on and they will
remain on for 30 minutes after the pump(s) turn off regardless of the water temperature.

2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
The Dimension One Spas Scrolling Message Center will keep all programming for 40 years with no
power supply and the time of day for 30 days. This battery back up will not provide power to heat or
operate the hot tub.
Summer Mode
The “SUMMER MODE” feature temporarily disables the circulation pump “Cool Off” cycle. During hot weather the
spa can experience “Heat Creep”. Heat creep is caused when the spa, during normal maintenance operations, cannot
dissipate more heat than is generated. This may cause the spa temperature to exceed the set temperature and cause a
“Cool Off” cycle. In order to prevent the water from becoming cloudy due to the circulation pump being turned off by
the “Cool Off” cycle, the spa can be set to bypass the “Cool Off” cycle. This is accomplished by setting the spa in the
“SUMMER MODE”. To initiate a “SUMMER MODE”, use the Up and Down pads to set the temperature to 59° F (15°
C). The Digital Display will indicate “SUMMER MODE”. In this mode the pump will run continuously until the water
temperature reaches 107°F (41.67° C) and then turns off. It will remain off until the water temperature reaches 102° F
(38.39° C) at which point the pump turns on.
Standby Mode
The “STANDBY” mode allows the user to clean the filter without turning off power to the spa. This feature disables all
automatic and manual functions.
To enter the “STANDBY” mode press and hold the Dimension One Spa’s ICON logo for 5 seconds. To exit the
mode, press and hold the logo for 5 seconds. If you do not exit the mode manually, the spa will automatically return to
normal functionality after 24 hours.
The “Smart Winter” mode is not affected by the use of the “Standby”: mode.

Routine Equipment Maintenance
Draining Your Equipment
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this system unless they are
supervised at all times.
All models are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine or chlorine has
dissipated from the water. The sanitizer in your water will dissipate quickly by leaving the cover off and exposing the
water to direct sunlight. Drain and replace your water every six months. For heavy water use, you may wish to change
the water more frequently.
You may purchase an optional submersible pump from your dealer or from our Virtual Showroom
at www.d1spas.com to provide quicker drainage.

Surface Care – Ultralife and Granitex
Your equipment has a very high quality finish. Stains and dirt will generally not adhere to the surface. We recommend
cleaning the entire shell surface with Dimension One Spas’ Water Line Cleaner. You may also use Dimension One
Spas’ ph/Alkalinity Increaser or mild cleaners like Soft Scrub. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the shell. After cleaning,
you will want to restore your hot tub shell’s original luster by using Dimension One Spas’ Poli-Gloss.
Do not use “409” type cleaners or other caustic solutions as they may damage the hot tub shell
surface and void the warranty. If you are using baking soda to clean your hot tub shell, be careful
not to get it on the skirt. It may bleach the wood.
Do not use citrus-based cleaners on the shell surface.
Granitex™/Quarite Plus®
If your spa is equipped with this material you must keep the spa covered when it is empty. When the spa is empty and
the cover is not in place, and the spa is exposed to direct sunlight, it is vulnerable to ultraviolet light or solar damage.
Temperatures generated by sunlight can become concentrated in the shell surface causing the shell material to
delaminate from the urethane backing.
Dimension One “ EnviroTect” Skirts and Vinyl Covers
The Dimension One EnviroTect skirts are unaffected by most corrosive substances, and will not absorb moisture.
To maintain the original finish, clean with soap and water. No sealing or painting is required. To maintain a “nearly
original” appearance we recommend applying 303 Protectant at least once a month on the Dimension One
EnviroTect skirts and on the vinyl covers if they are exposed to direct sunlight. 303 Protectant is rated at 40 SPF
(Sun Protection Factor).

Care for the Wood Spa Cabinet
When properly cared for, the wood cabinet of your hot tub will maintain its beauty for many years. All woods react
differently to the elements by expanding and contracting. To protect your beautiful wood finish, re-stain it every 3-6
months with Dimension One Spas’ Redwood or Coastal Gray Stain, which serves as a good sealing agent for the
wood. Please note that the cabinet is not warranted against reaction to natural weather conditions. The wood must be
properly maintained. Should your hot tub cabinet require re-conditioning, try Dimension One Spas’ Wood
Refurbishing Kit.
Special Cold Weather Instructions
Slipping into your steamy water on a snowy, winter night is a refreshing experience. Many times, people who could
never imagine being outside in winter weather, find themselves spending their winter nights doing just that, while
relaxing in their hot tub with family and friends. Therefore, the best winterizing tips of all are to enjoy use of your
system year-round.
All systems manufactured by Dimension One Spas are designed for rigorous winter use. They are insulated to keep
operating costs down and to protect plumbing and equipment whenever the products are operational. Each product
line incorporates freeze protection mode to maintain water circulation during freezing conditions whenever the system
has proper electrical power and water level. Therefore, a fully operational system is your number one defense against
freeze damage.
If you find it completely necessary to drain your water during the winter months, in an area where freezing conditions
may exist, please adhere to all of the instructions in this section to minimize the risk of freeze damage. Failure to
complete any of the steps satisfactorily will increase the chance of freeze damage, as small amounts of water trapped in
pipes will expand as it freezes, and may result in damaged plumbing lines or fittings.
Dimension One Spas does not recommend that you drain your system for the winter. Freeze
damage caused by winterizing your system is specifically not covered by Your Warranty.

Procedure for Winterizing
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Shut the power off to the system and make sure that it cannot be accidentally turned back on.
Remove filter elements from filter assembly.
Drain water from the system using the drain fitting and garden hose or you may use a submersible pump for f
Open the equipment compartment and locate pumps and heater.
Remove all of the drain plugs from each pump.
Loosen unions on both sides of each pump, and the heater if applicable.
If your system has a Dynamic Jet Sequencer, please remove that access panel as well and loosen all unions on
each of the sequencer valves. There are 6 sequencer valves, that means that you will have to loosen 12
unions.
27
2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
8.
Tip the system onto one side. (The system will have some water remaining, which will add to the weight). Be
sure to have enough people available to safely lift the weight of your system. Do not tip system onto
equipment bay side.
Close all jets, by turning jet faces counter clockwise.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
Put on your protective goggles in order to protect eyes from air, water, antifreeze or debris exiting the jets or
drains.
Insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into the filter element fitting. Some models may have 2 filters.
Begin with the left-hand filter fitting, which will help evacuate water from the circulation pump system. Then
proceed to the right-hand filter fitting. When using air blower on single-filter systems or the right-hand fitting
on dual filter systems, rotate each of the jet faces clockwise to open and counter-clockwise to close again. Do
this to each jet face, one jet at a time. Be careful, as water will be coming out of each jet fitting as you
perform this maneuver. Perform this operation, until no more water is coming from the jets.
Remove jet faces and insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into each jet fitting. Continue this process,
until no more water comes out of any jet fitting or drain fitting and you no longer hear water gurgling within
the plumbing. Place all jet faces in a plastic bag and set aside until you are ready to use your system again.
Remove both bleeder valves from the top of the filter canister area. Place hose of a high-pressure air blower
into the rear-most bleeder fitting first. Confirm that water mist is blowing from one or both of the circulation
system return jets in the footwell of the system. You may also get some water mist blowing from the filter
canister. Repeat this process with the front-most bleeder fitting. Confirm that water mist is blowing from the
drain fittings of the jet pumps.
Place the hose of a commercial grade, wet-vacuum over each jet fitting, bleeder valve fitting, and drain fitting
to draw out as much remaining standing water as possible.
Remove drain hose bib assembly from the outside bottom of the system.
14. Use the wet-vacuum to remove standing water from the pumps and any other fittings within the equipment
compartment.
15. Once you are sure that all water is evacuated from the plumbing and equipment of the system, put the system
back down in its normal position and repeat Step 10 and Step 11
16. Read all Directions and Safety Precautions on the Swimming Pool or Recreational Vehicle antifreeze bottle
before opening and using. Ensure that it is non-toxic and safe for this use. Beware of and follow all safety
precautions.
17. Using a long funnel, begin pouring non-toxic swimming pool or recreational vehicle water system antifreeze
into the filter canister fittings, bleeder valve fittings and jet fittings of your system. Continue adding antifreeze
until it comes out of the drain fittings or from the opening you are pouring it into. You must complete this
task for every jet fitting in the system. Some of the antifreeze will seep into the system from the drain or jet
fittings, which is okay, the goal is to have anti-freeze collect in the areas of the plumbing that would normally
trap water. Use the funnel to also place antifreeze into the pump housing(s).
When pouring antifreeze into the rear-most bleeder valve fitting, you may see antifreeze pouring
from one or both of the circulation system return fittings.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE COOLING SYSTEM ANTIFREEZE IN YOUR SYSTEM. IT IS
TOXIC AND HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL SPA
DEALER OR RV DEALER TO PURCHASE NON_TOXIC ANTIFREEZE THAT IS COMPATIBLE
WITH DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS!
18. Replace all equipment access panels onto the system.
28
2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
19. Replace thermal cover and secure locking tabs. If your system is located in an area of high snowfall, you may
want to take one more extra precaution to safeguard the life of your system cover. Span the cover with (2 or
more) 2x4’s cut to length to reach the outside edges of your cover. Place a sheet of plywood, cut to fit each
half of the cover, over the 2x4’s; this will carry the load of a heavy snow load and prevent the cover from
warping or breaking. You can even tarp the system at this point for maximum protection.
Spring Time Startup
In the spring, or when your ready to start the system back up, follow these instructions.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure o-rings for pumps are in place and undamaged.
Make sure all the fittings that you had to loosen are tightened.
Replace all jet fittings, pump drain plugs, hose bib drains and bleeder valves
Fill the system up, as you would normally do.
Turn the power back on.
Run the jets on high speed for about 15 minutes.
Drain the water.
Put your filter(s) back in.
Refill and treat chemically like you would during a normal water change.
Your system is equipped with automatic freeze protection. However, power outages can cause
your system equipment to freeze quickly. During freezing conditions, check your system frequently
to ensure proper operation. Always check your system after any power failure to ensure that it is
operational. Draining and not operating your system disables this feature.
For additional information about winterizing your spa, please contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas
dealer.
Warranty Service Information
Your hot tub warranty gives you specific coverage. Be sure to read the enclosed warranty sheet carefully.
The warranty does not cover problems arising from misuse, abuse, or neglect, and it does not cover problems caused
by improper installation or “perceived” problems caused by failure to read the hot tub owner’s manual. A service
charge will be made if a service call is made for any of the following:
1.
Equipment failure due to improper/inadequate electrical service. All systems require dedicated circuits as
described in this manual. Low voltage can cause equipment failure and seriously shorten equipment life. It is
the owner’s responsibility to ensure proper electrical service is available.
2.
Failure of hot tub to reach desired temperature because the set temperature is not turned up high enough.
Maximum thermostat setting is approximately 104° F (40° C).
3.
Burned out hot tub light. Bulbs are not covered.
4.
Hot tub water chemistry is the responsibility of the hot tub owner. Cloudy, dirty or chemically unbalanced
water and cleaning of the hot tub filter are also the responsibility of the hot tub owner.
5.
Hot tub shell or equipment damage caused by improper water maintenance. Serious damage can be caused if
your hot tub water is not maintained carefully and correctly.
6.
Poor jet action because the jet Selector valve is in the middle position. For full performance, turn the jet
Selector valve to either the full clockwise or full counterclockwise position.

2002 Dimension One Spas Owners Manual
Do not block air intakes located on the front left corner underneath the hot tub (the front right
corner for the Chairman II and Triad II) and under the equipment access panel. Resulting
malfunctions are not covered under warranty.
Granitex™ /Quarite Plus® Disclaimer
This spa is insulated with high-density urethane foam for structural support and energy efficiency.
When empty of water and left in the direct sunlight without the spa cover in place, the spa is
vulnerable to ultra violet light or solar damage. Temperatures generated by sunlight can become
concentrated in the shell surface causing the shell material to delaminate from the urethane foam
packing. This occurrence is not covered under warranty. The spa cover must be kept on the spa
while empty of water.
